Answer #1

ANSWER:

given that height h=250 m, g=9.8 m/sec

mgh = 1/2 mv^2

v = √2gh
v = √2(9.81)(250)
v = 70.04 m/sec

    need help understanding this problem 2. You an three friends built a makeshift bobsled for a on grass bobsled race. Due to the conditions, your main goal is to at least get to the goal which is x -75 m horizontally from the starting line and at the bottom of a θ = 5° hill. You are given a running start region on flat ground for d 25 m. The entire course is on grass which give a coefficient of...

    A skier, starting from rest, coasts down a slope that makes a 25.0o angle with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the snow and the skis is 0.200. The skier travels along the slope a distance of 11.4 m before skiing off the edge of a cliff. The skier falls a vertical distance of 3.80 m before landing on another downhill slope. Determine the speed with which the skier lands.

    An extreme skier, starting from rest, coasts down a mountain slope that makes an angle of 25.0° with the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between her skis and the snow is 0.200. She coasts down a distance of 10.9 m before coming the edge of a cliff. Without slowing down, she skis off the cliff and lands downhill at a point whose vertical distance is 2.60 m below the edge. How fast is she going just before she lands?...
